The Colorado State University softball team played four different teams in five games in Phoenix, Arizona, from Feb. 25-27 for the Lopes Up Classic three-day battle. The Rams nearly won the entire event but fell short against one opponent, finishing off the weekend 4-1.
The Lopes Up Classic tournament was the turnaround win Colorado State needed this season. Before continuing their nonconference action on the road this past weekend, the Rams had a 2-8 overall record. Despite their record, Colorado State exploded in the weekend opener and was ready to bring home some wins.
On day one, CSU took to the diamond against Colgate University.
